I love the Great State of North Carolina, so much so that I insisted on having the Republican National Convention in Charlotte at the end of August. Unfortunately, Democrat Governor, @RoyCooperNC is still in Shutdown mood & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed...

..full attendance in the Arena. In other words, we would be spending millions of dollars building the Arena to a very high standard without even knowing if the Democrat Governor would allow the Republican Party to fully occupy the space. Plans are being....

...made by many thousands of enthusiastic Republicans, and others, to head to beautiful North Carolina in August. They must be immediately given an answer by the Governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced...

...to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican National Convention site. This is not something I want to do. Thank you, and I LOVE the people of North Carolina!

Well, blue staters gonna blue state.  I'm sure the Rat Goobernor of NC has already made the plans to keep the evil Bad Orange Man out of NC, along with the Bad Orange Deplorables.

I wonder where the President is looking to move the convention?

A new policy is going to come out of this:  Never plan a Convention in a blue state, from now on.  Democrat Governors cannot be counted upon to leave the GOP unmolested.

But... since when is North Carolina a "blue" state?
I'd consider it still marginally "red", or "purple" at worst.

Perhaps the "Virginia syndrome" is spreadin' down southward.
If so, that doesn't promise a good future for Republicans...

NC is one of 12 states that hold gubernatorial elections in high turnout years.  While the congressional delegation is decent, the governor is most always an insipid "down east" democrat.
